Read MoreIn this first post-9/11 account of the career of the man who established himself as “America’s Mayor” in the dark days after America was attacked, Fred Siegel shows how Rudy Giuliani’s successes in New York–restoring law and order, cutting taxes and radically reducing the welfare rolls–demonstrated that Gotham was indeed “governable” (a matter of doubt until his election) and that our major cities might again become vibrant and dynamic places to live after thirty years of middle-class flight.

Read MoreEach of Siegel’s three urban portraits—New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles—shows the desperate remedies undertaken by cities searching for a lifeline back to the future whose promise they once seemed to embody. In a narrative that acknowledges the large historical forces that have remade the face of America over the last three decades, but insists that social policies are not merely foregone conclusions waiting to happen, Siegel holds up a mirror to our urban nature and tells us much about the way we live now.
